Algorithm and Experimental Verification of an Angle Estimation Method for two-Targets within Antenna Beam Width with two Receivers
Kentaro Isoda, Teruyuki Hara (Mitsubishi Electric) SANE2009-3
Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Monopulse angle measurement methods are often utilized to measure a target angle.
However, this method cannot measure a correct angle for multiple targets which cannot be distinguished by range, Doppler frequency and beam width.

A method to simultaneously measure azimuths and elevations for only two-targets was proposed, which requires a low computational load compared with other methods.
However, the conventional method requires four receivers, therefore it is difficult to utilize it when there is a hard ware limitation.

In this paper, We propose an algorithm to measure azimuths and elevations for tow-targets using a time division system and two receivers.
A brief explanation of the proposed method is described as follows:
We set up equations about phase changes between different time, spatial phases and complex amplitudes.
We can measure target angles by solving equations for spatial phases.

We also show a verification of the proposed method by a numerical simulation and experimentation.
Results show the principle of the proposed method is correct, which shows two-targets angles are obtained with two receivers.
